We may also collect information about you automatically through the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on digital PMI touchpoints. The specific cookies and technologies used will depend on the PMI touchpoint in question. To learn about the cookies (including Google analytics cookies) and similar technologies used on a touchpoint, including how you can accept or refuse cookies, please see the cookie notice made available on or through that touchpoint.

Where might information about you be sent?
As with any multinational organization, PMI affiliates transfer information globally. Accordingly, information about you may be transferred globally (if your information is collected within the European Economic Area, this means that your information may be transferred outside it).
find out more…
When using information as described in this notice, information about you may be transferred either within or outside the country or territory where it was collected, including to a country or territory that may not have equivalent data protection standards.
For example, PMI affiliates within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) may transfer personal information to PMI affiliates outside the EEA. In all cases, the transfer will be:
- on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision;
- subject to appropriate safeguards, for example the EU Model Contracts; or
- necessary to discharge obligations under a contract between you and us (or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request) or for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in your interest between us and a third party, such as in relation to travel arrangements.
In all cases, appropriate security measures for the protection of personal information will be applied in those countries or territories, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
How do we protect information about you?
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information that we hold from unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction. Where appropriate, we use encryption and other technologies that can assist in securing the information you provide. We also require our service providers to comply with strict data privacy and security requirements.
How long will information about you be kept?
We will retain information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected. After that, we will delete it. The period will vary depending on the purposes for which the information was collected. Note that in some circumstances, you have the right to request us to delete the information. Also, we are sometimes legally obliged to retain the information, for example, for tax and accounting purposes.
Find out more…
Typically, we retain data based on the criteria described in the table below:
Type |
Explanation/typical retention criteria |
|
Most of the information in your marketing profile is kept for the duration of our marketing relationship with you; for example, while you continue to use digital touchpoints, or respond to our communications. However, some elements of your marketing profile, such as records of how we interact with you, naturally go out of date after a period of time, so we delete them automatically after defined periods (typically 3 years) as appropriate for the purpose for which we collected them. |
|
This scenario is the same as the above, but if we don’t have any contact with you for a long period (typically 2 years), we will stop sending you marketing communications and delete your history of responses to them. This will happen, for example, if you never click through to an invitation to an event, log on to a digital touchpoint, or contact customer care, during that time. The reason is that in these circumstances, we assume you would prefer not to receive the communications. |
|
If you have registered to receive marketing communications, but the information you give us to contact you doesn’t work, we will retain your details for a period of typically only 6 months to allow you to return and correct it. |
|
If you commence registering yourself in a database, but do not complete the process (for example, if you don’t complete the age verification process, or you don’t accept the touchpoint’s terms of use), we will retain your details for only 6 months to allow you to return and complete the process. |
|
If you are not registered with us for other purposes (e.g. marketing communications, warranty, customer care), and we use publicly available information about you in order to understand the market or your preferences, we will retain the information about you for a short period in order to perform the particular item of market research. |
|
If you purchase goods, we will retain details of this for so long as required to complete the sale, and to comply with any legal obligations (for example, for tax and accounting record-keeping purposes). If you also register for a warranty for a device, we will retain details of this for so long as relevant to the warranty. |
|
If you contact customer care, we will make a record of the matter (including details of your enquiry and our response) and retain it while it remains relevant to our relationship, for example if you need us to replace a device under warranty, or if your recent enquiries are relevant. Temporary records (for example, an automated recording of a telephone call in which you ask us to direct you to a retail outlet) may be relevant only until more permanent records are made, and will be retained only temporarily. |
|
System audit logs are retained typically for a period of only a few months. |
|
Business analytics data is typically collected automatically when you use PMI touchpoints and anonymised/aggregated shortly afterwards. |
What rights and options do you have?
You may have some or all of the following rights in respect of information about you that we hold:
- request us to give you access to it;
- request us to rectify it, update it, or erase it;
- request us to restrict our using it, in certain circumstances;
- object to our using it, in certain circumstances;
- withdraw your consent to our using it;
- data portability, in certain circumstances;
- opt out from our using it for direct marketing; and
- lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country (if there is one).
We offer you easy ways to exercise these rights, such as “unsubscribe” links, or giving you a contact address, in messages you receive.
Some mobile applications we offer might also send you push messages, for instance about new products or services. You can disable these messages through the settings in your phone or the application.

The rights you have depend on the laws of your country. If you are in the European Economic Area, you will have the rights set out in the table below. If you are elsewhere, you can contact us (see the paragraph “who should you contact with questions?” at the end of this notice) to find out more.

Further detail (note: certain legal limits to all these rights apply) |
|
This is confirmation of:
On your request we will provide you with a copy of the information about you that we use (provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of others). |

Country-specific additional points
According to which country you are in, you may have some additional rights.
If you are in France, find out more…
- If you are in France, you have the right to give us instructions regarding information we hold about you in the event of your death (specifically, whether we should store or delete it, and whether others should have the right to see it). You may:
- issue general instructions to a digital service provider registered with the French data protection supervisory authority (called “CNIL”) (these instructions apply to all use of information about you); or
- give us specific instructions that apply only to our use of information about you.
Your instructions may require us to transfer information about you to a third party (but where the information contains information about others, our obligation to respect also their privacy rights might mean that we can’t follow your instructions to the letter). You may appoint a third party to be responsible for ensuring your instructions are followed. If you do not appoint a third party in that way, you successors will (unless you specify otherwise in your instructions) be entitled to exercise your rights over information about you after your death:
- in order to administer your estate (in which case your successors will be able to access information about you to identify and obtain information that could be useful to administer your estate, including any digital goods or data that could be considered a family memory that is transferable to your successors); and
- to ensure that parties using information about you take into account your death (such as closing your account, and restricting the use of, or updating, information about you).
You may amend or revoke your instructions at any time. For further information on the processing of information about you in the event of your death, see Article 40-1 of the law 78-17 dated 6 January 1978. When you die, by default, you will stop using your account and we will delete information about you in accordance with our retention policies (see the paragraph “How long will information about you be kept?” for details).
Who should you contact with questions?
If you have any questions, or wish to exercise any of your rights, you can find contact details for the relevant PMI affiliate, and if applicable data protection officer, here. Contact details will also be given in any communications that a PMI affiliate sends you.
If your country has a data protection authority, you have a right to contact it with any questions or concerns. If the relevant PMI affiliate cannot resolve your questions or concerns, you also have the right to seek judicial remedy before a national court.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice (and any supplemental privacy notice), from time to time. We will notify you of the changes where required by law to do so.

Social Media Accounts Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
You may have been redirected here from one of our social media accounts, for example from the Customer Support pages of one of these accounts (Facebook, etc.) (referred to together as “social media accounts” in this document).
Our social media accounts are targeted at adult smokers who wish to continue using tobacco products and for adult IQOS users residing in Reunion Island. By interacting with and using our social media accounts, you confirm that you meet these criteria.
Who are we?
We are members of the Philip Morris International (“PMI”) group. Our name and contact details have been given to you on the website on which this document (“Terms of Use”) is published or in the respective social media accounts.
How are these Terms of Use accepted?
By using one of our social media accounts, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use. You also agree to comply with all other applicable terms of use (the Facebook Statement of Rights and Responsibilities etc.).
Good IQOS practices and duty to inform
We wish to start by pointing out a few important things about IQOS:
PMI markets a range of smokeless products (meaning products that do not burn tobacco). We hope that smokeless products will one day replace cigarettes. We help adult users of smokeless products, by answering their questions about this new way of consuming tobacco products.
1. Our smokeless products are designed for adult smokers who would otherwise continue smoking or continue using nicotine products.
2. Our smokeless products are not designed for non-smokers (anybody who has never used tobacco and/or nicotine products or has quit). Our smokeless products are not an alternative to quitting tobacco altogether and are not designed to help users quit.
3. Our smokeless products provide an alternative to cigarettes but are not risk-free and contain nicotine, which is addictive.
4. The best decision smokers can take by far is to quit using tobacco and nicotine products altogether.
5. Children should not use any type of tobacco or nicotine product.
6. Likewise, pregnant women or people suffering from diabetes or heart problems should not use any type of tobacco or nicotine product.

The Lender invites the Borrower to read the T&Cs carefully before each loan request, as these may have been amended. Each loan request entails the prior consultation and acceptance of the T&Cs by means of a dedicated tick box, comprising a hypertext link to said T&Cs.
The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender does not transfer its property right over the Goods Loaned, owing to the Borrower’s acceptance of these T&Cs.

The representations and photographs of the Goods Loaned on the Site have no contractual value. The Lender, in its capacity as publisher of the Site, makes every effort to ensure that they are as accurate and faithful as possible but the actual Goods Loaned (in particular the colour, dimensions, textures and other characteristics) may differ slightly from those in the photos on the Site. This may be due to technical, photographic and computing reasons, for example, owing to the lighting when the snaps were taken and the screen resolution, equipment or internet browsers you use when visiting the Site.
The Borrower is invited to refer to the specifications of the Goods Loaned on the Site for information on the specific essential features.
